In Greek mythology, three goddesses—Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite—fought for the Apple of Discord, inscribed with "Kallisti" ("To the Prettiest One"). Unable to decide, Zeus entrusted the choice to Paris. Each goddess offered a tempting gift: Hera promised power, Athena military success, and Aphrodite the love of the most beautiful woman. Paris awarded the apple to Aphrodite.
